5. From the fountainhead of the tiktok virality

In a video on Thursday, TikTok user @raeyreads spoke about the sharing of the letter as some believe she was one of the first creators to do so.

"So, I have been getting messages from news outlets. First and foremost, I want to say I will absolutely not be communicating with any Western media outlet. I do not trust you. I know, absolutely, you will spin my words against me in any way that you can," the user said in the video, adding that the "Letter to America" video she posted has been taken down by TikTok.

"I did not state anywhere that I agreed wholeheartedly with everything that was written in that letter," the user said. "However, if I'm going to post something that I think can show another side of things, I'm not going to only post a portion of it....I believe it's important to see the way that things are perceived by everybody, that are involved in it and I believe that that letter was a really great way to encourage some critical thought."
